Words for the Planet: Writers Confronting the Climate Crisis

05/03/2025 - 3:00pm to 4:15pm
Poetry/Fiction/Creative Nonfiction
Panel

Climate change is here and its impact is felt everywhere. From natural disasters to forced migration, the crisis is exacerbating inequities and reshaping our world. Authors, poets, and scientists are all responding to this crisis – exploring it on both a personal, collective, and global scale.

Join poet Marie Howe (New & Selected Poems), biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson (What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures), and Emily Raboteau (Lessons for Survival; Mothering Against the “Apocalypse”), for a cross-genre moderated conversation by James Tager. Together, they’ll explore how their work responds to the climate crisis and how we can envision a sustainable future.

This is a World Voices Festival event. For the full lineup, go to worldvoices.pen.org.
